About 125 delegates and visitors were at the Kensington Congrega- tional church yesterday afternoon and evening at the annual meeting of the Central Congregational asso- ciation of Connecticut. The program was greatly enjoyed by those attend- ing and the speakers from the vari- ous churches in the state proved in- teresting and inspiring. The atmosphere of the church in . Kensington, one of the oldest in this part of the state, added to the di nity of the entire meeting. The church contains some of the original panels and is noted for the beautiful setting and surrounding views afford- ed from the place. In the afternoon session Rev. 4 Oscar E. Maurer, D. D.. of the Cen- ter church of New Haven spoke on the value of worship in the church service of today. He stated.that wor- ship should be a more important factor than the sermon, as all peo- ple.in the congregation take part in it. while the sermon is prepafed by the pastor and embodies the princi- ples of one person. He also spoke on the necessity for the preparation for worship as an important help to those attending church, stating that the old Puritan idea that Sunday be- gan at sundown Saturday night was a good way to prepare onesself for the services on Sunday morning. Al- L though he did not advocate that . practice he did believe that the do- ings of the previous evening had a * great deal to do with the frame of * mind in which one attended church the following day. Rev. Harold Bendon of Newing- ton gave the prayer in the after. noon. His words left a feeling of sin- Jceerity in the gathering which re- mained during the entire service. In the evening Dr. Richard H. "Clapp and Dr. Cody spoke of the great work of the missionaries and “the part that they play in advanc. “Ing the reach of Christianity over the world. * Many local people attended the services in the evening. The meet- ing was open and was one of the most successful to be held in recent ears. Supper was served to the “delegates in the evening by th: women of the church. About 117 people were served. Prayer M The weekly prayer meeting of the Berlin Congregational church will be held at the church Thurs- day evening. All members of the parish are invited to attend. Rev. 8. A.

ADMITS POWER 0. HAS BIG HOLDINGS Chicago Publisher Confesses {0 Omitting Name From Statement Washington, May 15 UP—Samuel E. Thomason of Chicago, co-owner of the Bryan-Thomason Newspa- pers, Inc, which publish the Chi- cago Journal, the Greensboro, N C., Record, and the Tampa, Fla., Tribune, testified today before the federal trade commission that the International Paper and Power company and its subsidiaries owned all of the million dollar debenture nds and all of the $600,000 pre- erred stock issue of his corporation. Thomason, the first witness at to- day’s hearing, testified he and John Stewart, Richmond newspaper pub- lisher, had purchased the Greens- boro and Tampa newspapers before their transaction with the Interna- tional company, but had obtained the financial backing of the Inter. national in the purchase of the Chi- cago Journal. “The Chicago Journal is econ- trolled by Mr. Bryan and myself,” Mr. Thomason testified, under ques- tioning whether the International had control of that newspapér. “As far as control of the paper the International has no control of the Journal” he declared. “They are just like 2 bank and they have no more control over the newspaper and its securities than banks have over. securities which they hold as collater: Questioned by Robert E. Healy, commission counsel, why he did not include mention of the Internation- al's interest in the Journal in the post office statement of April 1, Thomason said: “I think I did a stupid and fool- ish thing, because it gave the ap- pearance of hiding the Internation- al's interest. “I had advised my competitors in Chicago and the Chicago newspaper publishers group of the Internation- al's interest and had discussed it freely with them."” He added he had told Merrill C. Meigs, Chicago Hearst publisher; Robert R. McCormick of the Chi- cago Tribune, Walter Strong of the Chicago Daily News, and John C. Shaffer, Chicago publisher, about the deal as it was being negotiated. HILBOURNE APPEAL INSUPRENE COURT North End Gasoline Station Suit Is Argoed ‘The last step in the appeal of Edward O. Kilbourng in his case against the city was argued before the superior court of errors at Hartford yesterday afternoon. The case involved the right of the city of New Britain under the zon- ing ordinance to an injunction re- straining Kilbourne from proceed- ing with the construction of a gas station on his Stanley street proper- ty opposite the entrance to Stanley Quarter park. Kilbourne was given a permit for this building on November 21, 1925. The land on which the station was to be erected was a deep ravine through which a brook runs. Before the station could be completed an injunction was obtained by residents in the neighborhood who objected to the station. Under the zoning law Kilbourne has the right to complete the work if he began it within three months after the permit was issued. The question before the court was whether the preparation of the ground amounted to the beginning of the construction. The city claims that the work did not begin until the actual building construction | started. Kilbourne claims he spent $4.500 on the site for the station before the injunction was issued. Hunger- ford & SRaxe represents Kilbourne and Judge John H. Kirkham repre- sents the city of New Britain, “Siamese twin” frogs have been found near Baden, Pa. They hop merrily about together as if unham- pered. Bristol News BOY DRIVES AWAY WITH FAMILY AUTO 555 Father Asks Police to Aid in Locating His Son STUDY NEW PARKING RULES Candidate For Driver's License in Crash During Test — French- Americans Organise Republican Club—Gas Station Hearings. Bristol is experiencing an epi- demic of automobile stealing, four cases where cars have been taken without permission having been rc- ported to the police since last Mon- day noon. Monday morning a car owned by Elwyn Downes, which was parked in the yard of the Bristcl Brass Corp., was taken and has not been recovered. Last Monday night an automobile ow: by Stephen Ostroski was ctolen from a central parking place and was found last night abandoned on a lonely road n Farmington. A car owned by Lil- lian Oehler, which was also stolen last Monday night on Riverside av- enue, has not been recovered, The last complaint made to the police was this morning when a father sought the department's as. sistance in locating, his son, who de- parted from home last Monday with the family car. It is the father's be- lief that his offspring left for New Hampshire to friends and the police of that state have been asked to assist in locating the youth. The name of the complainint was not divulged by the police. Boys Break Windows Two boys, both 12 years of age, were taken into .custody by the police last evening for breaking win- dows of a house on Dudley strect. The boys uséd air rifics to do the damage and the weapons were con- fiscated by the police. ‘Their cases will be heord in juvenile eourt next Baturday morning, May 18. Parking Problem Serious Consideration is being given by members of the board of police com- missioners to the parking situation in the center of the city, it is un- derstood, and it is possible that a new set of regulations will be of- fered to the city council for adop- tion within the near future. Since the first of April, when many automobile owners registered their cars, the parking situation has pre- sented an angle not experienced in former years. There are but two centrally located parking places, on2 at the west end of the Memorial Boulevard and the other on Pros- pect street in the vicinity of the railroad station. Both of these points are utilized by store employes and are filled to capacity at an early hour each da This necessitat:s the use of both sides of Main street and during the hours of the heaviest traffie, it is almost impossible for traffic to be handled because of the parked cars. A similar situation exists on North Main street. par. ticularly between Laurel and Center streets, *‘What solution will be devised by the police board is problematical. Tt may be found advisable to reduce the parking limit, which is now 30 minutes both on Main and Norta Main streets, To Play West Hartford The Bristol high school baseball team, weather permitting. will play the West Hartford high nine on the local athletic field at ¢ o'clock this afternoon.
